'I wish father would not speak as he does. He means well, as I telled yo' yesterday, and tell yo' again and again.

“我希望父亲不要像他那样说话。他的意思是好的，正如我昨天告诉你的那样，并一次又一次地告诉你。

And I know not if I slept or waked, or were in a dead swoon, till Mary come in; and I telled her to fetch yo' to me.

在玛丽进来之前， 我不知道我是睡着了还是醒了， 或者是昏厥过去了； 我让她把你拿给我。

I were coming whoam to ask her, like a beggar as I am, for a bit o' comfort i' that trouble; and I were knocked down by one who telled me she were dead — just dead.

我是来找她的， 像我这样的乞丐， 希望她能在那个麻烦中得到一点安慰； 我被一个告诉我她已经死了的人击倒了——只是死了。
